Great Stuff April 4, 2004
This CD will knock your socks off. The harmonies are great and the arrangements superb. As a member of an a cappella group, as well as a trombone player in a big band, I can confidently state that New York Voices manages to combine the best of both worlds. There is not a weakness in this entire CD. Buy it! You will be be-bopping and toe tapping in no time.

Increasingly, the New York Voices is becoming recognized as the best vocal jazz ensemble in the business, and this album is "Exhibit A" for that proposition. "Don't Be That Way" is my personal favorite: for 4 singers to be together in harmony at breakneck tempo like this is a wonderment to behold. And "Save Your Love For Me" rivals anything that came out of Motown. Besides the fact that the Voices sound tremendous as an ensemble, individually their voices are superb; and nowhere is this more evident than the set-ender "I'll Be Seeing You", an a capella answer to the oft-sung "Berkeley Square" done by the Manhattan Transfer and virtually every other amateur vocal jazz group in the U.S. Special word about Darmon Meador: He may be the best young male jazz singer around right now. Don't be surprised if he breaks out and goes solo someday.
THEY CAME! THEY SANG! November 4, 2001

On Saturday, November 3, The New York Voices accompanied andunaccompanied by the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, came to the restored Warner Theater in Torrington, Connecticut. I had never heard vocalists Darmon Meader, Peter Eldridge, Kim Nazarian, and a very pregnant Lauren Kinhan, before, but I sat enthralled as they performed 8 of the 14 titles on their Sing, Sing, Sing CD. They also gave the filled theater audience an example of Antonio Carlos Jobim's Desafinado, and after a standing ovation, they cameback for a final song with the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra. The quartet(plus) most impressed me when they rendered 2 of their songs acappella.

I only recently discovered the New York Voices. I wonder how I could possibly have missed them. "I'll be Seeing You" is perfect. I can't listen to anything else after it. I know I am a recent convert, so my enthusiasm may wane, but it may not, who knows?
 Sing Sing Sing-ing praises for NYV! August 11, 2001
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
New York Voices' latest offering, Sing Sing Sing, does not disappoint! Fans of the group love their seamless blend and skill in the art of vocalese. This recording offers the latter with verve, with the added bonus of the group's covers of great old standards like the title cut, along with Stardust, Smack Dab in the Middle, I'll Be Seeing You, and others equally as recognizable. As a longtime fan, the only thing I can ever find wrong with this great group is the solos, which sometimes painfully reveal that voices which are powerful and gorgeous in a blend don't neccessarily have the quality or style I want to hear in a soloist. But even that weakness provides a foil for what the group does best -- wonderful harmonies, great musicality, and a tight vocal fit that provides lots of exciting sound. If you are a lover of the vocal arts, this one's for you!
